“You may learn to manipulate people to act the way you are requesting from them, and they will learn to manipulate you back to act the way they require from you, but when and if that happens and you realize it, it becomes very sad. Please do not go that route. A life of manipulation is a life of bondage, intrigues, lies and loneliness. Do not play that game. At the end the only one who loses is you.” – Erika Ferenczi“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ~ Carl Jung
“As children, we are sponges. We take on the beliefs and values of those we look up to, depend on, love or, sadly, even fear. Some of these beliefs may be serving us well; others are doing the exact opposite. Taking the time to reflect on what is important to us, what resonates, what is truly our belief is a step we must all take. Without doing this, we are carrying around baggage that is not our own: baggage that keeps us from finding our authentic self. By exposing ourselves to new ideas and different ways of being, we can discover what resonates within us.” – Diane Mottle, MSW“Everything will line up perfectly when knowing and living the truth becomes more important than looking good.” – Alan Cohen
“If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both.” – Horace Mann
“If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.” – Mark Twain
